Completely unsupported Constant force closes. I have to clear data every few days and resetup keyboard. I have sent multiple emails to the developer with no response. Not even a screw you. Don't waste your money. Update: still constantly force closing. It crashes when flipping between voice input and typing. I have emailed the developer hundreds of times without a single response. This problem has persisted on 3 different phones and multiple versions of android ranging from 4.1 to 5.0.1

Exactly what I needed I originally gave it 5 stars back in 2013. Now its 2015 and still no emoticons. Dropping a star every month till they upgrade.

My No.1 keyboard for years! Its much easier to use ur thumb rather than fingers to type..and after having used this I can no longer go back to the small 'finger only' keyboards like Swiftkey. A big annoying issue - very frequently, words are duplicated for some reason. I also had the text shortcuts/setting often coming up and then changing the keyboard layout by accident but I realised turning off gestures fixed this.

Black punctuation bar needs to go. This keyboard is beautiful, I have the extra row of keys enabled. However, I never use the black bar devoted to punctuation and autosuggestions. Landscape I can hardly see the text box. I'd love to ditch that bar... it's holding back the 5th star. Hitting N rather than space was a problem out of the gate, but I raised the height of the bottom row a little in the settings, GOOD TO GO!

Awesome Layouts I switched to Thumb Keyboard to get the customizable thumb layouts for portrait and landacape. Love the level of customization, including custom keys and text shortcuts (for my username, email address, etc.); its amazing. I usually prefer to tap, but this would get five stars if there were an option to swipe as well. EDIT: Needs emoji support!

I love thumb keyboard...but I need help I love thumb keyboard, I don't use any other key board! And I always recommend this one too! BUT having some problems with it...it will say "unfortunately, thumb keyboard has stopped working" and I cannot figure it out or why this is happening. Please help

Revamped Review (again) OVER 6 MONTHS WITH A KNOWN PROBLEM, DROPPED BACK TO LOWER RATING. ORIGINAL: I love this keyboard, but because the developer ignores emails and doesn't implement simple fixes, I cannot rate it above 3 stars. For example, over a year ago, I let them know where the '5' key should display ']' for its extended character, it displays '\', which is shown elsewhere as well, but correctly invokes the ']' symbol when long-pressed. Developer doesn't seem too concerned with quality, the way I would expect. EDITED: Developer responded and it seems my email was overlooked. As the app should be 5 stars, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. I will reevaluate after next update.

Great and wonderful app! Versatile, configurable, you can program keys (a lifesaver!) And the dev are quick to fix problems. This is the BEST! If your characters are too small, change the keyboard configuration!

Waste of my money I used this on my S3 and my Note3. I just recently updated to 5.0 and this crashes so quickly that I can't even send a report about the issue without it popping up 5 times to tell me it crashed again. This keyboard app is on the more expensive side of keyboard apps, this is inexcusable. UPDATE YOUR APP!!!!

Horizontal orientation does not work Great overall, but right side gets cut off in horizontal orientation with apps that use a bottom, 3-dot menu which rotates when the phone is turned. For example, does not work with Note Everything. Makes the keyboard useless. Tried contacting the developer, but no response. Will change to 5 stars if I receive one. Droid Turbo, Android 4.4.4

Galaxy s5 running lollipo 5.0 I bought this app yesterday afternoon and wish I didn't, it keeps force closing on me, I didn't manage to use even once, every time I try to use it force close messages pop up and they keep coming up every few seconds so I can't even use my phone!! What a waste of money! !!

Best, but not great... Overall, the best, but some big flaws. 1) No graphical emoticons. Really? I've emailed them about this, but never get a response. 2) Unlike some others, this doesn't "learn," which is only disappointing after working with ones like swiftkey that learn and learn fast. 3) Best guess autocomplete choices jump around so I end up tapping the wrong one most of the time. So why 4 stars? It's extremely customizable, the has all 4 curser direction buttons in portrait mode & doesn't make my hands numb.

Better then swiftkey This keyboard is way better then swiftkey just for the simple fact you can basically make your own theme if you wanted to. Only downside, add in ctr, alt, ect. Need to use "hackers keyboard" for all my ssh stuff.

Some lacks Very customisable, I only find one way to have the space bar once I switch from Spanish to English or French: the "obsolete" split display... And, please: add a Calibration feature, as Smart Kboard does!

WAS my favorite keyboard This used to be my favorite keyboard. But lately the keyboard has been innaccurate on key presses, but even more annoyingly, the keyboard double types letters. I'll try and type a word, for example, "truck" and it will put it on the screen like this "ttruck".... It does this about every 8 words or so. Needs a Fix BADLY!

best for 5" ... and wow...an update :D This is the perfect keyboard if you like 5" screen (or more) phone and landscape typing. And luckily, this is not an abandoned application like I thought before :D.

needs better gesture support Even though the new keyboards that I use these days suck, one reason I can't go back to this keyboard is the lack of proper gesture support. it keeps inputting characters whenever I make a gesture.

PROBLEM ON QuadHD PHONES My Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro has a 6" 1440 x 2560 screen. Keyboard labels are tiny even when the label size is set at 200% for main symbols and 150% for secondary symbols. On my lower resolution phones, this would be the PERFECT keyboard for me.

Very good Keyboard, but... It would be nice, though, if 1) a T9 keyboard could be added to the possible layouts for those who prefer one-handed texting (similar to that of Perfect Keyboard), and 2) provide emoji support. Otherwise, this keyboard is a must-buy! There's a problem on QuadHD Phones. I can't use it properly using my Lenovo Z2 Pro, because the buttons are too small. Please fix. Thanks!

Improvements Guys please take note. Russian layout needs keyboard alteration possibilities in settings. Where is e with dots in landscape format? Secondary letters in the sttings is in dark gray, you can't read them!

One handed operation doesn't work anymore I used to be able to adjust the size of the keyboard so that it was smaller and aligned to the right for one handed operation. That capability has magically disappeared somehow. Now messaging on the train or bus is impossible with small hands and a Samsung Note 3. So horribly disappointed.

Force close on Lollipop fixed, but it still needs Material theme (I would even buy it, as an in-app purchase). As the dev apparently only responds here, I am asking here - should I keep my hopes for the Material theme up? (After a year without updates and with no social activity or email responses, I thought the app was dead, but now...)

Fine but not great This review is for both versions of the keyboard. The paid and free versions show little difference. The accuracy of this is not good enough to keep using. It suffers badly because it almost always inputs the letter n whenever the space bar is tapped no matter how careful you are. Also, the back button has the same weak response and frequently fails to work when tapped. It also does not input corrected words when you tap them! Not worth it.

Function Keys This is sofar the best keyboard ever for the samsung S3 mini, Tab3.7 and now Note4. ONLY REASON j give 1 star is that I emailed the developer 2times and NO REPLY! All I want to no is how toe personalize the FUNCTION KEY;the F1 ect. Then all give a 5* rating - I PROMISE! ;-)
